<p>The SVD specification supports the array-of-registers concept. The single register description gets duplicated automatically into an array. The size of the array is specified by the &lt;dim&gt; element. The register names can be composed by the register name and an index-specific substring defined in &lt;dimIndex&gt;. The &lt;dimIncrement&gt; specifies the address offset between two registers. The elements below can be used to generate an array of registers.</p>
<table  class="cmtable" summary="dimElementGroup Description">
<tr>
<th nowrap="nowrap">Element Name </th><th>Description </th><th>Type </th><th>Occurrence  </th></tr>
<tr>
<td>dim </td><td>The value defines the number of elements in an array of registers. </td><td>scaledNonNegativeInteger </td><td>1..1   </td></tr>
<tr>
<td>dimIncrement </td><td>If dim is specified, this element becomes mandatory. The element specifies the address increment in between two neighboring registers of the register array in the address map. </td><td>scaledNonNegativeInteger </td><td>1..1   </td></tr>
<tr>
<td>dimIndex </td><td>Specifies the substrings that replaces the <em>s</em> placeholder within the register name. By default, the index is a decimal value starting with 0 for the first register. </td><td>dimIndexType </td><td>0..1   </td></tr>
